How do hamsters distinguish between the third line and the first line?

1, observe their eyes first, let's see if their eyes are red. In fact, whether it is light pink or dark red, as long as it is red-eyed, these are all first-line hamsters (Campbell). If they all have black eyes, we need to make other distinctions and think that both hamsters have black eyes.

2. Observe their coat color. If Mao is a native hamster with three conspicuous black lines on his back, it must be a third-line hamster. If there is only one line on the back, and its hair tips and roots are dark colors, this is a line hamster, which is also an easy part to distinguish.

3. If a hamster has a piece of pattern, it is also a first-line hamster.

Observe the face and body shape In order to better distinguish hamsters from the first line or the third line, we can also distinguish them according to their face and body shape. If we only rely on two standards to distinguish, it may be because of the mixed-race hamster that the results are not standard, so the face and body shape are for reference only.

The first-line hamster is as follows:

The three-line hamster is as follows:

Extended data

The ears of the first-line hamster will look much bigger than those of the third-line hamster, and the ears will open like a fan, while the ears of the third-line hamster will be smaller, but they will look more stereoscopic. If we fold their ears, they will only be as big as rice grains.

First-line hamsters usually squint and look like foxes. It looks fierce, and the third-line hamster's eyes will soon become round even after waking up. This aspect is easy to distinguish.
